  1. Digital Photography

  2. Did you know… The word photography comes from two Greek words. “phos” – means light “graphis” – means paintbrush Therefore, photography means to paint with light!

  3. Power • Photographers who create powerful images do so with intention and purpose • Capture the subject • Engages the viewer

  4. Symmetrical Composition Two equal parts Creates a sense of balance with elements Sense of equal weight

  5. The Pink Shed (Ned Pratt) If you were to draw a line down (or across) the middle of this picture the content of each side would be of equal weight.

  6. Asymmetrical Composition • Image appears “off-center” • Artist arranges the subject matter until it looks right • Background distractions unwanted(subject = positive space & everything else = negative space)

  7. The church clearly appears to be sinking into the trees. The lack of subject matter to the right helps create the sinking feeling.In terms of balance we might describe this picture as bottom heavy. Why? Unsettled #6: Parson’s Harbour, South Coast

  8. The Rule of Thirds • The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds (using 2 horizontal lines and 2 vertical) so that you have 9 equal parts. • This helps you focus your composition

  9. Elements of Design • A line is a basic element of art, referring to a continuous mark, made on a surface, by a moving point. • A line is long relative to its width. It can define a space, create an outline or pattern, imply movement or texture and allude to mass or volume. Absolutely essential in creating art, the line.

  10. Unsettled #28 How many examples of line are in this picture?

  11. Shape • A shape is an element of art. Specifically, it is an enclosed space, the boundaries of which are defined by other elements of art (i.e.: lines, colors, values, textures, etc.). • Shapes are limited to two dimensions: length and width. • Geometric shapes - circles, rectangles, squares, triangles and so on - have the clear edges one achieves when using tools to create such shapes. • Organic shapes have natural, less well-defined edges (think: an amoeba, or a cloud).

  12. Texture, another element of art, is used to describe either the way a three-dimensional work actually feels when touched, or the visual "feel" of a two-dimensional work. Take rocks, for example. A real, 3-D rock might feel rough or smooth, and definitely feels hard when touched or picked up. A painter, depicting a rock, would create the illusions of these qualities through use of color, line, shape, etc. Texture

  13. Sandstone

  14. Perspective • Point from which the subject is viewed • Birds eye • Worms eye • Establishes emphasis • Move closer, move back, move up, down

  15. Perspective *Pretty Cool!

  16. Light • Light is a powerful tool • Direction • Strength • Time of day (warm & cold) • Lack of light also effective • Shadow etc.

  17. Single light source
